Embedding FORMS in OneNote for Mac

Question

Hi

I have problems with embedding Forms in OneNote for Mac (Version 15.33). (Office 2016) It works in OneNote online but not in OneNote for Mac (Version 15.33).

I'm not able to go further than this (it's not possible to open):

(screenshot) And it doesn't show me the Form to fill in the data.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,

Christopher

Hi Christopher,

Please kindly note that we can only use Form function in OneNote Online. Given this situation, I’d like to invite you submit this idea at our~~UserVoiceor vote this existing one: https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box/suggestions/15380772-adding-forms-to-classroom-and-onenote~~

Many great features came directly from our customers. Your understanding is highly appreciated.

As a workaround, we can copy the guest link of the Form (Open the Form and click the Share option to get the link) and paste it to a OneNote page. Then OneNote will recognize the Form link and users can click the link. Then use browser to complete the form. (Note: The feature applies to the latest version of OneNote 2016).

Based on your description, I'd like to confirm the following information:

1. Check whether you can use the issued Form in the browser successfully.
2. Your Mac OS detailed version.
3. How did you insert the Form into OneNote for Mac.
